Word Jumping
If you use a mac and tried the iTerm2 application, you may have noticed that the keybindings for word jumping and deletion are not set up correctly. Here’s how to fix that:
From the iTerm2 menu select Preferences > Profiles and from the right select Keys. Now add the following key bindings by clicking (+) for each:
Alt + Left
Send Escape Sequence, Esc + b
Alt + Right
Send Escape Sequence, Esc + f
Alt + Backspace
Send Hex Code, 0x17
Split Terminals: Creating and Navigating
I also like to bind keys to split the terminal vertically and horizontally and move focus between them.
From the iTerm2 menu select Preferences > Profiles and from the right select Keys. Now add the following key bindings by clicking (+) for each:
Alt + Up
Split Horizontally with <profile>
Alt + Down
Split Vertically with <profile>
Cmd + Up
Select Split Pane Above
Cmd + Down
Select Split Pane Below
Cmd + Left
Select Split Pane on Left
Cmd + Right
Select Split Pane on Right
